Hanging Baskets

We are just back from a great weekend in Kelowna where we met up with friends on a hanging basket shopping trip... yes.. hanging baskets. Beautiful ones - 40 of them to be exact.

The small Rockies town where our friends are from apparently is not able to properly grow really good hanging baskets, and so they have to go further afield for them. We were just happy to enjoy the hot Kelowna sun, drink copious amounts of great wine, ride bikes, and enjoy the wonderful company of our best friends.

I always seem to get the crappy part of the drive on trips to and from Kelowna and this time was no different. Beautiful clear skies and great roads on the way there when hubby was at the wheel and this is what I had to drive through on the way back:
We were laying poolside an hour before this photo was taken.

The trip was well worth it though. Thanks for a great weekend guys!

From 28 degrees to 2

We left Vancouver on a beautiful June day. Twenty-eight degrees and more fantastic weather on the way:










I took both of these shots on a bike ride to/through Stanley Park.











And here is what Alberta had for us:


12 to 14 cms of snow... followed by hail, wind, rain, more snow, and a spash of sunshine just to tease us.

Nothing like June in Alberta...

Niagara Falls

Pretty impressive...


And I like this store too..
